      The AFR looks good. Rich would have made the tip blackish.

      TIP: Before taking out the pulg, clean the surrounding area of mud/dust.

      Ride safe and have fun.

        Thabks a lot :-)

        Was running on 5.5 rotations of the screw. Now after cleaning the filter(which had much of the dust), i retuned it, nd now its best at 4.75 rotations. Will report back if the color changes.

          Cheerz!!
          No, nothing under the seat, suction port is fine.
          Sure, will check the AFR. I get a comparitively better mileage, so could be lean AFR.

          Thanks

            I just changed my fz-16's rear tire to 130/80 which literally increased my bike's height. I just want to know, will it affect my bike's performance?? and if so what changes should i do to overcome it?? should i under gear it??
            Thanks in advance...

                  AFAIK, it is 'usually' 3.5 or more.. See if you get more rpm by turning it anticlockwise. If not, keep the same configuration.
                  PS. Turn idling screw to get 2.5 or 3k rpm at idle nd then try this. :-) try and make it better :thumbup:

                  PS 2.. Same pinch.. S3 :-P :-P

                    Hai
                    Yes your top end performance will get affected. Change you smaller sprocket to 15 teeth of Pulsar150. It will almost come back to stock performance.

                      Hi I am planning to change the rear tyre. Done close to 22K KMs on the stock tyre now.

                      How is the Michelin Pilot Street Radial 130/70R17 as compared to the stock tyre MRF REVZ Tubeless 140/60R17.
                      What will be the adv/disadv of changing to Pilot Street Radial?
                      Ne one using the Pilot Street Radial Pls post the pic also

                          The exact same discussion is also going on in another thread http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/help-me/...f-fz16-13.html also gake a look at few pages back on this thread.
                          as fas as i know, not many have used Michelin PS. So having reviews is going to be tough. The stock tyre is preety awesome if you ask me.
                          You can also take a look at Duke 200's tyre, 150 section. I have seen many fz's with that any is more rounder in profile than the stock one.

                          Ride safe and have fun.

                            Today went for battery change in my bike which has been without any electrical for the last 2 days now. But the amaron dealer didn't had and 5A MF battery in stock and said the stick would come only after 10-15 days.
                            Should I go for the stock battery again from exide, costing Rs. 1250 ? Exide doesn't have MF batteries. I checked with a dealer.

                            Ride safe and have fun.

                                Never checked and no idea how it looks.
                                Check the previous page, there is a work-shop manual and you can check that for for the fuel sensor.
